This page is dedicated to all the little friends we share our world with in the Trent-Severn
community. Well, some of our friends are not so little. Please send us a digital photo of your
little friend to submit@trentsevern.com with the subjet line "Our Little Friends" . Let us know what the species is since I openly admit, I just don't know
all of our friends.
Loon submitted by Lauren from Stoney Lake Description: The Common Loon is an excellent swimmer and diver. Its diet consists mainly of small fish, frogs, crustaceans and roots.
Loons are a common sight on the Trent-Severn Waterway where their loud call is unmistakeable. It has been often described as "haunting, beautiful or thrilling"
Osprey submitted by Ed from Stoney Lake Description: Osprey eat fish almost exclusively. They catch fish by diving into the water from a height of up to 40 metres.
Male Ospreys provide virtually all the fish for the family while the females remain at the nest for much of the summer.
The nest is a bulky mass of sticks and debris placed in a tree, on a telephone pole, on rocks or on the ground.
